☆Site update: aspect ratios + app update: RainbowTimers v2.0.0.0!☆
Do things look taller? The desktop and mobile sites have been updated to give all games their proper aspect ratios.
More importantly, RainbowTimers has been updated to version 2.0.0.0! I've been wanting to add some of th(...) https://blog.bluestarcreations.net/blue-star-creations-updates/site-update-aspect-ratios-app-update-rainbowtimers-v2-0-0-0/#BlueStarCreationsUpdates #app #MobileSite #RainbowTimers #site #software

☆Major clean-up complete☆
I'm... exhausted to announce that I've completed a 3-day effort to go through all my posts and fix typos and stuff.
Part of this also involved fixing and then reverting changes to my dashes, because the preview I have for Markdown parses two dashes with spaces around them as an en dash, but saving it produces an em dash(...) https://blog.bluestarcreations.net/blue-star-creations-updates/major-clean-up-complete/ -
Follow-up question: what do you think would be a fair price for that? Just, like, round to nearest, USD.

So... a thought occurs. Would anyone be interested in a variation of Mastermind as a standalone app? I keep thinking of it in terms of a minigame, but I have all the logic. Even without learning a game engine, I could pretty easily implement it with my text writer.

Mini-update to v1.0.0.2, just to fix alignment issues and extend the text boxes a bit for aesthetics. Yes, I can be petty! XD

☆App update: RainbowTimers v1.0.0.1!☆
RainbowTimers has gotten enough of what I want in it to get over 1.0! Still some features I'd like to add, but it will now track over the day, and over the year, up to 99 years! Surely, no Capitalist could work their employees any harder than that! The text has also (...) https://blog.bluestarcreations.net/blue-star-creations-updates/app-update-rainbowtimers-v1-0-0-1/

☆App update: MediaAlarm v0.0.4.2, and Happy New Year!☆
Just a quick little thing to add a "Classic Woodgrain" option as a baked-in image background. It may or may not be your thing, but I've been sitting on it for quite a while now and just happened to test it with EggTimer(...) https://blog.bluestarcreations.net/blue-star-creations-updates/app-update-mediaalarm-v0-0-4-2-and-happy-new-year/

Slight bugfix: the version released at lunch has been replaced with one where the colors are processed in reverse order to avoid running into issues when you have double digits of them to worry about.
Happy writing!

☆App update: RTF2BBCode v. 0.0.1.4!☆
This version has a number of fixes and additions:
Backslashes are fixed bidirectionally.
Colors going straight from one to the other now work properly.
Dashes now have enhanced handling.
Support for h1 and h2 tags has been added based on font size. Anything above 20pt is h1(...) https://blog.bluestarcreations.net/blue-star-creations-updates/app-update-rtf2bbcode-v-0-0-1-4/ -

☆Proper re-introductions and lore☆
It's come to my attention that I probably haven't properly introduced our cast of characters to the blind community, which Fedi has plenty of. I mean I did, but I really didn't go into full detail and I feel like the images I did give could probably be elaborated upon. I've been doing all these image(...) https://blog.bluestarcreations.net/blue-star-creations-updates/proper-re-introductions-and-lore/

☆Site update: RTF2BBCode and LibreOffice☆
What they say is true: "never assume, it makes an ass of u and me." Well, guess who assumed LibreOffice would output the sort of clean, easily parsed RTF that WordPad does? (Spoiler: me. It was me.) In the meantime, WordPad is still easy to find, works on Window(...) https://blog.bluestarcreations.net/blue-star-creations-updates/site-update-rtf2bbcode-and-libreoffice/

☆Main and mobile site update: HTTPS☆

☆App update: Dice and Random NEXT bugfix☆
Irony of ironies, when throwing together Fixed Dice and Non-Random NEXT for April Fools Day, I actually found a bug. Magic 8-Ball was ignoring the first success response. This has been corrected. Get it here: http://www.bluestarcreations.net/tools/tools.html#Dice

☆App update: Fixed Dice and Non-Random NEXT!☆
I am proud to announce a new version of Dice and Random NEXT based on feedback. There were some who thought the rolls might be unfair, leading to critical failures.

☆Sad update for MediaAlarm RE: auto-updates☆
It seems my host is simply incompatible with ClickOnce. This is probably for the best, as Microsoft is no longer supporting it. I'll need to explore alternate avenues for auto-updates, but for the time being, I've saved everyone the annoyance by removing t(...) https://blog.bluestarcreations.net/blue-star-creations-updates/sad-update-for-mediaalarm-re-auto-updates/

☆Happy 100th blog post!/Introductions☆
Hey, this is kind of just off the cuff because I realized I was hitting a milestone and there's something I've been wanting to do. I don't know if I'll commit to it, but meet Jay, who you might recognize from my avatar.

☆Software update: MediaAlarm v0.0.3.2!☆
Significant updates here! Bugfixes to some very old bugs, some plumbing work for what will be the 0.0.4.0 release, and some adjusted expectations on things like help and customization. I wanted this to be 0.0.4.0, but there's still a little work to do and I h... https://blog.bluestarcreations.net/blue-star-creations-updates/software-update-mediaalarm-v0-0-3-2/

☆MediaAlarm update! v0.0.3.1☆
A small update with this one, but it did require a little code to pull off. The default alarm for the two alarms and snoozes has been changed to the Windows default MIDI DemoLoop.Mid! Shot is still the default for EggTimer. The auto-update checker has also been adjusted down from the ra... https://blog.bluestarcreations.net/blue-star-creations-updates/mediaalarm-update-v0-0-3-1/

☆Site update: mobile redirects fixed☆
In posting the update to Dice and Random NEXT, I realized the Tools page redirected to MediaAlarm. I have gone through and determined a few pages actually redirected to MediaAlarm and the Ruby page redirected to the Jerako page. This has all been corrected. Sorry for the inconvenience.... https://blog.bluestarcreations.net/blue-star-creations-updates/site-update-mobile-redirects-fixed/

Maybe not worth a whole blog post, but I have fixed the redirect from the Tools page to the mobile site as of my lunch. It was previously going to the MediaAlarm page for some reason. I'll have to make sure none of the others are messed up that way after work. I'll do a blog post if I find more.

☆Dice and Random NEXT update: Magic 8-Ball mode!☆
Dice and Random NEXT now has something useful to do when the random range is a single digit! Say hello to your new Magic 8-Ball! This mode has its own success count that is kept separate from overall rolls, but if I get feedback that it shoul... https://blog.bluestarcreations.net/blue-star-creations-updates/dice-and-random-next-update-magic-8-ball-mode/

☆HUGE update to MediaAlarm!☆
MediaAlarm now has ClickOnce installation and automatic updates!
EggTimer has also had some branding fixes to call it MediaAlarm EggTimer in most of the important places. Space is short in some spots, but I think everyone will get the gist of it.

☆Software update: Dice and Random NEXT v1.0!☆
As much as 1.0 sounds fancy, the major changes are paired duplicate filtering (ever important) and a bugfix to the success selection (also rather important).

☆Site update: World of Jerako split☆
I probably mentioned this, but I'd been considering splittng the Jerako and Ruby pages back out because of Jerako: Walk With Me! looking like a good project for Godot.

☆Site update: return of the Tools page!☆
Both desktop and mobile have been updated to restore the Tools page to its former glory, mostly because I linked Dice and Random NEXT to a friend and realized it was kind of confusing for it to be under the MediaAlarm page.
